"Madam President, there is a lot of talk about quotas in Mrs Karamanou’s report. I have abstained, and this is why. I have been national secretary of the Pensioners’ Party in Italy since 1983, and throughout that time people have been asking why I represent the Pensioners’ Party when I am not a pensioner. They say I am too young to be retired, which is very nice, but it often bothers me that people should think someone who is not retired might not be able to stand up for pensioners.
Madam President, do you think not being retired means I cannot defend pensioners with determination, conviction and constancy? So does not being a woman mean a man cannot defend the rights of women just as well? That is why I am not so keen on quotas."@en1
